Network Television Evening News Coverage of Infectious Disease Events.
Greenberg, Michael; Wartenberg, Daniel
Journalism Quarterly, v67 n1 p142-46 Spr 1990
Examines coverage of several infectious diseases and teenage suicide to see whether television news favors covering illness where it clusters or when it occurs near major news centers where it is easier to cover. Finds that television news did go to where the illness broke out but tended to favor reporting urban over rural suicides. (RS)
